Question

leah predicts that an average of 5 passengers will board the bus at each of the 6 stops along her route. the number of passengers that board at the first five stops are 3,7,5,6, and 2 my options are 3.8, 7, 4.6, 5​

Answer 1

4.6
To have as result 5 as average that means that all the numbers together must add 25 But it is 23
It USA little more than 4 and a little less than 5. 4x5 = 20. 5x5= 25
The difference is 5 3 is a little more than 2.5 So It makes sense that is 4.6 and no 4.5

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent number of passenger at the 6th stop.

We have been given that Leah predicts that an average of 5 passengers will board the bus at each of the 6 stops along her route.

Total number of passenger on Leah's route would be $5\times 6=30$.

Now, we will add number of passenger on each stop and equate with 30 to solve for x.

$3+7+5+6+2+x=30$

$23+x=30$

$23-23+x=30-23$

$x=7$

Therefore, there will be 7 passenger at the 6th stop.
